Travel and money are women's superheroes. Travel makes them strong, breaks norms. Smart money choices break barriers, give control, mean independence and dreams. In this chat, Sophia talks with Angela Duncan, the cool host of Empower Her Money. A woman who defied the odds and survived a childhood of abuse and poverty. She loves real estate and says you don't need lots of money to start investing; it's like planting seeds.
Angela suggests using your brain, not just your feelings, for money decisions. Spread your money around, like a safety net. Change how you think about money – be thankful for what you have. Angela's money tips are simple: check your spending, save for emergencies first, and put money aside for retirement. Pay off expensive debts first, like credit cards. Be careful with consolidation loans – they might not be as good as they seem. For travelers, Angela says use Airbnb, negotiate prices, and check Groupon for deals. You can enjoy life and still be smart with money. Get Angela's book on Kindle and learn a quick guide on thinking differently about money while enjoying life. Listen now!

"But if you had other income coming in from other places and you lost your job, still scary. But I've got my bills paid and now I'm going to go find a job. And that allows for you to make better decisions when you don't have so much pressure, when you have multiple streams of income coming in."
